more difficult mine owners will adopt the
usual means of getting their ore to the sur
face economically. The development ,of
the mines of the Gogebic from mere open
pits or quarries, as majority of them now
are, to genuine underground mines will
mark new era for that favored
region. Speculation in worthless mining
stocks will disappear eventually,
the district will settle down to
steady mining business amp will improve
the great natural advantages with which it
is favored. One mine. like the Lake
Superior or Republic, giving steady en-
ployment to seven or eight hundred men, is
worth several mining booms. The Gogebc
boom has served its purpose by securing the
investment in that district of several million
dollars. Many of those who invested
blindly have secured valuable stocks. Others
have lost. There is no question but that the
speculative boom is nearly over in the
Gogebc. but it will be followed by an era
of development and prosperity. Eastern
and western capital will naturally seek dis
trct where ii can find promising investments.
Last year the mines of the Marquette
range shipped 1.636, 996 tons of IRON ore;
the mines Of the MenOmnee range SSS, $50
tons. the mines of the Gogebc 73l, TAB and
the mines of the Minnesota Iron company,
on the Vermillion range. shipped 304, 800
tons. The grand total of shipments of
Lake Superior iron ore for the season of
1856 is 1862, OILS tons. Following is an
estimated product of the entire district for

Catherine wolfe's Romance.

OHlCASO
A genuinely solemn thing is the death of
Catharine Wolfe, the richest maiden lady
in the land. She was genuine devotee of
religion and charity. Her obituaries have
ere this been printed everywhere Stories
OF the reason of her celibacy. and inpart-
ing a romantic tinge to it, are current in
society An intimate friend assures me
that they are not true. With millions upon
millions at her command from girlhoOd,
with the utmost refinement and goodness
inherent i'll her nature with family con-
nections of the proudest sort, her oppor-
tunties for wivlng herself advantageously
were of the best. But she never had the
remotest desire TO marry. This feeling
may be partly due to a distrusJ of
all wOoers. for how could she know that
they wanted her rather than her money?
But principally it arose from genuine re-
pugnance to Wedlock.
She desired to maintain utter independ-
ence. Twenty-Five years ago Count Falco
came nearer to winning her than anybody
before or since. He was an Italian and his
title was all right. though counts are of no
great distinction in Italy. He had been
educated for the Catholic priesthood, but
he had become an Episcopalian iii this
country. He protested to devote himself
to benevolent work, he gained Miss Wolfes
confidence in that way. and it was thought
that she almost if not quite, accepted him
as a lover. But he couldn't wait for her
money. She intrusted 81, 600 to him for a
particular charity. He contscated the
fund for his own use and she detected the
robbery.
II will never trust a man again." she
said, ''unless he refrains from counting
me-"
That seemed to become the fixed rule of
her life, and its operation necessitated
maidenhood.

A Valuable ST. Paul Lot
FREE

The GLOBE has purchased a lot in the
center of the present limits of st. Paul-in
one of the most eligible residence Sec
tons and property there is bound to be-
come very valuable in after years. There
is nothing rash or improbable in the asser-
ton that the lot will easily bring $40, 900
before baby at the present time becomes
of age. 1t is proposed to give this lot
free of any incumbrance-to some baby
who is fortunate enough to hold the lucky
number. The deed will be made to the
parents who will be required to hold the
lot in trust for the child until it becomes of
age. There is no charge for tickets. They
are free to all-who have babies born be-
tween May l, 1887. aud Aug. l. 1887.
Tickets will be numbered as fast as re-
ceived and checks with corresponding
numbers sent to the parents. On Aug. Is,
1887. the drawing will take place. super
vised by committee of responsible and
well, known citizens, and every baby will
have fair and equal chance. The sigma

months ago. All of the iron fields of the
Lake Superior district are at present feeling
the effects of boom. The newer districts
have the bigger boom. In the Vermilion
range the boom has taken the shape of
plating new villages after the Duluth
fashion. locating lands wherever lands are
to be found, giving and taking options and
building new railroads. In the Gogebec,
the wire edge of the boom, is wearing
away, but the volume of legitimate bust
ness is greater than ever before. In the
Menominea range new mines are being
opened, old ones that were closed are being
worked again and great deal of exploring
is being done.
In the Marquette range new mines are
being opened. A dozen mines will be on
the shipping lists this year that were not on
last year. Real estate has advanced from
so to 100 per cent. and new railroads are
being built. New hotels, business blocks
and dwellings are going up on every hand
and the present year will long be remem-
bered as one of expansion. when every city
grew and every one was busy and pros

GALVESTON, Tex. May 1.-The News,

Northwest Texas and extreme Southwest
Texas there have been rains of late that

tied area in Northern Texas, are suffering
seriously for want of rain. In all that belt
of country between San Antonio and Aus
tin, from Austin to Bremond and
down the Central railroad to Houston
and within the circumference described
by this geographical circle, the country and
lands are badly in need of moisture. Oats
and small grain within the districts speci-
fled are almost total failure, while corn,
that should be well advanced and in vlgor-
Gus condition. is seriously wilted and in bad
condition all through. This is the worst
feature Of the agricultural situation. In
central and middle Southern Texas there is
still time ahead to make a cotton crop,

MooRHEAD, May IAN inquest was

on the banks of the Red river about the
miles south of town. 1t was identified as
that of DR.. G. E. Sayles, of the late firm
of Farmhouse & Sayes. of Valley City,
Oak. He was one of the bondsmen of
Pease, the treasurer of Rarnes county, who
defaulted for about $50, 900, and in con-
sequence his firm had been forced to sus-
pend. He was brother-in-law of Col. G.
j. Yeakes, the great street railroad man Of
Chicago, and returned from visit there

He had taken ont his pocket-knife and
made a single incision in the carotid artery,
from which he had bled to death, the
bloody knife being still in his hand. Life
had been extinct for long time, probably
since some time Friday. He was evidently
laboring under much depression on account
of business troubles, wandered up The river
and deliberately took his own life. A gold
watch. $23 IN money and other articles of
little value were found on his person, but
no writing of any sort to indicate that he
contemplated suicide. He was man much

CROP CONDITIONS
Reported More Favorable Owing to
Recent Rains.

CHICAGO, May 1.-The following is the
weekly crop summary Of the Farmers
Review: The conditions, in the main, have
been favorable for the growing winter wheat
during the past week. Rains have fallen in
all of the states. though in portions of Kan
SaS, Missouri and Illinois the need of rain
is still said to be urgent. The average of
the condition in twenty Illinois counties re-
porting this week is so per cent. In Cum
berland, Edwards, Mercer and Macoupin
counties the condition is placed at ITO per
cent. In Carroll. Fayette, Hardin and War
rem counties it is placed at 100. In
Franklin. jefferson and Johnston counties
the percentage is placed at 100. In Frank
lin, Jefferson and johnson counties the
percentage is placed as low as 80 per cent.
The averages for Indiana are about the
same as those in Illinois. In Bartholomew,
Clinton, Rush and Shelby counties the
average ranges from 100 to no. while in
Dekalb, Pike. Adams and Randolph coun-
ties the percentages range from 50 to SO
per cent In Ohio the average ranges lower,
very few of the counties reporting full
average condition. In Cuyahoga. Hardin
and Mercer counties the outlook is regarded
as very poor. The average of condition in
two Kansas counties is 81 per cent. A num-
Der of counties note an Improvement
in consequence of recent rains. Bourbon,
Cherokee, CowIey, Dickinson, Ellsworth
Leavenworth, Mitchell and Montgomery
counties give the promise Of full average
yield, while in Edwards. Davis, Clay Rock
and Woodson counties the percentage
ranges from so to IS per cent. In Missouri
the average percentage is 81. The condi-
ton of spring wheat in Iowa, Minnesota
and Nebraska is reported as good, though
rains are needed The acreage in Iowa
promises to be fully as large as last year, if
not somewhat larger. The meadows in
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio are thin and
slow in starting. Widespread injury to
clover fields in Illinois is reported, owing to
injury from freezing.

This product, which it is quite certain
will be made by the Gogebic mines, will
double the shipments of last year, place it
ahead of the MenOmi nee range, and leave
it only 600. 600 tons behind the Marquette
range The preceding list gives twenty
eight mines as shippers. Half dozen of
the smaller new mines will begin shipping
before the end Of the season, but their out
put will be small. Some mining men of
the district claim that the Gogebic mines
will ship 1,S00, 900 tons of ore this season,
but it cannot be done. The
MINNESOTA IRON COMPANY,
operating six mines in the Vermilion dis
trict, will ship 425.O00 tons of ore from
Two HarborS this season. 1t is doubtful
whether any other mines will ship from
that range this season. The owners of sew
eral mines think they may be able to get
out some ore, but it is doubtful. The lake
shipments of the four Lake Superior iron
ranges for the year may therefore be set
down at the following figures:
Marquette range. ............2,1 lis, 600
Menominee range. .................. /, $50, 900
Gogeplc range .............-... .l,5OO,UOO
Minnesota range. ................... 425,OOO
Grand total. ,22O, 900
These figures show that thereN will be
an increase of nearly LOO, 900 tons over
last years output. The figures look large
they are large. but they can be verified.
In 80 not quite 100000 tons were
shipped; in '87 over 5000, 900 TONS are 10
mined! These figures give better insight
into the growth of the iron mining indus
try than words could. Two million tons
| of ore are worth between $50, 900, 900 and
$50, 900, 0O0 In the shape of Lake Supe-
rior charcoal pig iron the same ore, when
! manufactured, would be worth $50, 900, 600.
Could furnaces, rolling mills and
steel rail mills be built on the
shores of Lake Superior to smelt
| this ore and manufacture the crude pig-iron
into steel, great trade centers and manu-
featuring cities would quickly spring up.
| Twenty years ago there were more charcoal
pig-iron furnaces in operation in the upper
peninsula than there are now. Wood was
plenty and cheap, consequently charcoal
was easily got. Pig-iron brought high
prices and the furnace men grew rich. Since
the panic of 1878 the furnaces have been
